Jan, 2007 - PresentTeamTeachers.com TeamTeachers.com is a website I started to develop in 2007 when I was working at the board of education in Miyazu, Japan. I was working in the JET scheme and although we had a lot of orientation and ongoing teacher training I saw a need for materials exchange. At the time I was also creating lessons and materials constantly and I wanted a way to share them with my colleagues. It is a place for ESL teachers to share ideas and teaching materials.

Apr, 2011 - Apr, 2011ForeverKyoto Project foreverkyoto.com Introducing the Kyoto you may not know. ForeverKyoto is a project I started to help the community for which I have lived for many years. Northern Kyoto Prefecture has many wonderful things to share to the world yet international tourism is non-existent comparing to the actual city of Kyoto. This is a site for Japanese tourism promoters to participate in research I conduct on thier behalf on ways to increase and improve international tourism in rural Japan. It also provides international travelers a unique window into tourist spots that traditionally are domestic tourist spots.
